Hey. I got some new wheels and rubbers and just wanted to share. I know it's not much of a change by going with 5-spokes again but I'm sure happy. :) I like the rivet look and now I've got a little lip. :P Win-Win for me! I guess that's all that matters right?

I went with 18's on 225/45.

Yeah...you got me! I saw a similar style aftermarket rim on a mercedes somewhere online. I think it was on an A4??? Since I kinda think the Sonata has a similar body style to the A4 I figured it would be a good fit.

I like 'em. They're aggressive but understated, especially on a silver Sonata.

Good job, Hapa!

You made an excellent choice of 18" rim size, 5-spoke design, and 1" drop.

The upgrade looks terrific and I suspect the handling has improved.
